Yeah, completely neutral. All he does is point out what we already knew would improve about the iPhone.

Really, 3G is faster than EDGE? Thank god Mossberg told me or I would have never known!]]>Jul 8th 2008 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/
Sure, Mossberg is biased. However, giving away the result of the review in the headline is not evidence of said bias. You write the headline (or your editor does) AFTER the review is complete, not before it.

Everyone seems to agree the new hardware isn't that much better, which is what we all expected. I've never had good luck with a GPS phone, which is why I have a real GPS unit.

What I think is funny is how everyone complained about the first iPhone, saying it should have been 3G and it should have had GPS, and how Jobs was lying about battery life and all that. Now the iPhone has 3G and GPS, and, sure enough, both have major drawbacks.]]>Jul 9th 2008 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/
Looks like the original iPhone data plan was $20 because ATT knew that users would scream highway robbery if they tried to charge their normal $30 data plan for a device that only supported EDGE :)]]>Jul 9th 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/Jul 8th 2008 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/Jul 8th 2008 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/Jul 8th 2008 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/Jul 9th 2008 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/come lately features and still too big.]]>Jul 8th 2008 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/
Weird that Mossberg actually states:

"One drawback: While you can have both personal and Exchange email accounts on the new iPhone, if you synchronize with Exchange calendars and contacts, your personal calendar and contacts are erased."

Come on, try to post the correct information so people don't get confused!]]>Jul 8th 2008 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/
To me that makes the Exchange feature near worthless. So I can have work and home email but not work and home calendars or contacts. ]]>Jul 9th 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/walt-mossberg-reviews-the-iphone-3g-isnt-that-impressed/
